Chapter 1257:

Immediately understanding, Louise comforted Elyse. “You need to keep moving forward. She wouldn’t want you to dwell on the past.”

With a gesture, Louise added, “I must be going now. I have my own matters to attend to, and you should handle yours as well.”

Elyse nodded and smiled. “Alright, just go ahead.”

After taking a few steps, Louise stopped, turned back, and suggested, “There’s a dinner tonight. Why not come, and you can leave afterward?”

Without hesitation, Elyse responded, “Sure, I’ll make sure to eat well before leaving.”

With a bright smile, Louise hurried off.

Returning to where Darren was waiting, Elyse sighed. With a sly expression, Darren asked, “What did the charming princess say to you?”

Elyse showed her displeasure and explained, “We’re returning to our homeland today. Who knows when I’ll see her again?”

Understanding the situation, Darren said, “You two were saying your farewells, having a private moment.”

Gently sighing, Elyse replied, “Thinking about parting with a friend really hurts.”

Trying to comfort her, Darren said, “Don’t be sad. She came to see you because she understands your feelings. She cares about you too.”

Acknowledging his words, Elyse nodded. “I know,” she said, still feeling sad.

That afternoon, the temporary orchestra disbanded; there were no more performances. Deep bonds had been formed, and parting was difficult for everyone.

After saying goodbye to Geraldine, Quinn, and the others with hugs, Elyse and Darren returned to the hotel.

Learning that Elyse planned to attend the dinner, Darren collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. “You have so much energy! I lost all mine as soon as the performance ended. Now I just want to sleep, yet you’re ready to go to dinner.”

Elyse replied, “I have to go. Jayden even asked me to wear a gown and is coming to pick me up.”

Darren yawned and said, “Then you should go. I’m going to rest.”

Elyse nodded and went back to her room to rest. The bed was so comfortable that she quickly fell asleep. Remembering the dinner, she suddenly woke up, sat up, and began getting ready.

As she finished, Jayden arrived in his car.

He knocked on the door and called, “Are you ready?” Elyse grabbed her purse, swung the door open, and handed her coat to Jayden, asking, “When do we return to our country?”
